summary
Builds a Heroku‑style PaaS by wiring Backstage + Crossplane + Argo CD together so a developer clicks a template, Backstage scaffolds a repo, GitHub Actions builds images and Helm/OCI charts, Argo CD deploys app+infra, and Crossplane composes provider resources (buckets, RDS) and emits connection secrets mounted into pods. Demo runs on kind with GCP/AWS providers, faces CI/image hiccups but ultimately provisions a bucket and mounts credentials. Production rollout at Grupo Boticário manages 100 AWS accounts, 109 apps, 13 templates, 195 resources.
